#3: Finally, please support any other causes that are calling you. We live in a world in which 1 in 9 people don’t have access to safe, clean drinking water. Around 1 in 3 people don’t have access to sanitation. These facts don’t make headlines. But they matter.

Thank you.

You’re the only person I know who lives in Las Vegas, and I wondered how you were. It’s painful hearing the news reports…and then we’ll see one that illustrates the love that’s stronger than fear. And thanks for the suggestions for how we can help.

Thank you for taking a very different perspective of such a tragic event. Thank you for seeing such a high-level view of what is going on and not just one aspect. Thank you for making such a positive humanitarian post and not a political agenda monologue. Keep up the great work Paula. I enjoy your podcast . It is both educational and encouraging.

Thank you for this, both here and on the podcast. And thank you for pointing us beyond the current crisis to other needs as well. I’m running the Chicago Marathon in 5 days with Team World Vision to raise money for clean water in Africa. You highlighted why. Thank you!

Amen. My thoughts are with your community. Paula thank you so so much for pointing out the love and good that springs forth from tragedy. You teach us more than just personal finance, but to strive to live lives of fulfillment and *positive* impact. Thank you!

I am an avid listener to your podcast, and I thought of you right away. Glad to know you are safe, and I am sending positive energy your way. Thank you for letting us know the great things people offered during this time of suffering and ways in which we can donate. Take care. <3

Glad you are OK, I’m also in the area and am fortunate that those I know who were there are safe- I hope you are able to say the same but know many are not. Our community has absolutely responded to this in an amazing and beautiful way, and hearing the stories of people helping one another and donation centers being overwhelmed are welcome reminders that the vast majority of people are good and full of love.

I’m grateful you sent wrote this. I actually got it in an email and honestly I was somewhat stunned that it was here that it originated. Many people would say nothing, or at the very least incorporate it into a more ‘useful’ email, more like what they would write anyway, so as not to cause people to complain about spam. You didn’t do this. You knew it needed to be said and therefore you said it. End of story. It makes me so happy to see this coming from a ‘financial’ website, and heightens my respect for you greatly. Thanks, for this.
(P.S. I saw blood donations on crowdfunding websites. No qualms there but it reminded me that many blood donations ‘sites’ (hospitals set up in advance for non-emergency situations) are turning right around and selling the blood you donated. I just thought I should mention this because the red cross came to mind.)
